Abstract

Let 𝒯n denote the set of unrootedlabelled trees of size n and let m be aparticular (finite, unlabelled) tree. Assuming that every tree of𝒯n is equally likely, it is shown thatthe limiting distribution as n goes to infinity of thenumber of occurrences of m is asymptotically normalwith mean value and variance asymptotically equivalent toμn and σ2n, respectively, wherethe constants μ0 and σ≥0 are computable.
